We're dividing 948878 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 948878 can be divided by 59.

Step 1:
59 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 94 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 94 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 358 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 354 from 358 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 59

On to step 4:
59 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
487 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1608.0
Deduct 472 from 487 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 59

On to step 6:
59 goes into 158 2 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16082.0
Subtracting 118 from 158 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 goes into 400 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16082.6
Deduct 354 from 400 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
59 can be fit into 460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16082.67
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 413 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
59 goes into 470 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16082.677
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 413 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 16082.677 with a remainder of 0.0057.
